Mine just shipped from Amazon yesterday (at a $7.98 overcharge ) so give me a while, to get it then watch an episode or 2, then I'll extoll it's virtues.
Has anyone spotted any Easter Eggs BTW?I forgot to search for Eggs! Thanks for bringing it up. We may find none, but ya never know!
A good Egg tidbit would be a section with nothing but Ted's Greatest WJM Hits , featuring a quick salvo of such classic Ted Baxter goofs as "White horse sous", "You've got something on your front tooth", and "Just look at her gobble up that slop" (while we view a shot, behind Ted, of Sue Ann enjoying dinner).
... Now, if the Dick Van Dyke "ottoman" box set ships before year's end, I will have an entirely different attitude!...Which I can fully understand & appreciate, David L.!
You have your priorities in perfect focus, my friend!
ANYONE who could resist the COMPLETE 158-episode (probably 30-disc ) set of Dick V. Dyke can't be considered much of a TV DVD collector! (No offense. )
I check www.dvdondvd.com each and every day, hoping for .... DVD-on-DVD COMING DEC. 3!! Pre-Order Price for Ottoman CE: $125.99! ACT NOW!! .... but, so far, no such (good) luck.
No Van Dyke updates since June 15th. Well, maybe that's good. They must be doin' it right! (But I still ache for that set! )
Frankly, I'm rather shocked and disappointed at the apparent lack of interest in this dang-near-perfect MTM set of DVDs.David VP: I think it's just a matter of too many major releases coming out on one day. I've never seen anything like it--nearly 300 DVDs released on one day. Frankly, I have no idea why the various studios ganged up on Sept. 24. If Fox, for example, had moved MTM to next week, Oct. 1, the set would have faced relatively little competition for consumer dollars and press coverage.
Because I'm in Minneapolis, where MTM was set, I made an extra effort to cover it. But it wasn't easy to find the space. I had to run my brief write-up as a sidebar to my regular column. But it was a hoot talking to Ed Asner. Here's the link:

BTW ... Frankly, I'm rather shocked and disappointed at the apparent lack of interest in this dang-near-perfect MTM set of DVDs.I am actually pleasantly surprised there was so much enthusiasm for this series. I didn't realize there were so many people who liked this show as much as I did.
